Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors consider this to be appropriate. There is no external financing in place or required as the Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements by using existing cash and working capital balances. This includes a net receivable balance of £1,036,000 under the group's cash pooling arrangements. The Directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements (or from the date of the audit opinion, if later) and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Please note that on 31/05/2024 Sogefi Spa completed the sale of Sogefi Group's Filtration Business Unit to Purflux Group. As result of this Sogefi Filtration Limited has been renamed Purflux Filtration Limited on 01/06/2024.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
